Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Is A Paid Preview, Adds Aeris As An Assist Character

If you guessed the Duodecim Prologus trademark was for a paid demo, you were right! Square Enix formally announced Dissidia Duodecim Prologus at their press event. It’s coming to PlayStation Network now and it exclusively adds Final Fantasy VII character Aeris as an assist character to the final game.

Dissidia Duodecim Prologus will have an original short scenario (read: short storyline) and arcade mode. You can get Dissidia Duodecim Prologus for 300 yen ($3.75)

Update: Downloaded Dissidia Duodecim Prologus and it’s actually two files. After you purchase it from the PlayStation Store you get Dissidia Duodecim Prologus (244MB) and a Dissidia 012[duodecim]: Final Fantasy assist character file for Aeris (486KB).

Yeah, I got that… I’ll just try it, and if it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, I wouldn’t buy anymore paid demos.. My main concern is whether Aerith will be available to everyone, or only to those who bought the demo.

I’m also concerned about multiplayer. If Aerith appears in VS matches and you don’t happen to have the demo, that essentially means you’re just paying to unlock something that’s already on the disc.

Any chances this’ll also show up on the US PSN before the North American release?

i also wondered about this. if she’s only a assist character what’s the point of paying if you can’t even used her as a main? they better make aerith a playable character and not just a assist only, and she better have her own story too in the main game.

i hope she is playable that would be mega awesome i mean if they can allow yuna to like air dash and dodge their sure as hell can make aerith plus she was’nt all white mage she like had the highest magic out of the team and did deadly black magic to plus HOLY^^ **** i wonder if she would cast it like sephy did

It’s not like it would change much… and with “it” i mean everything related to Cloud’s relationship with people, maybe a little less “buhh! don’t talk to me >=(“, but it would still be pretty much the same

So it’s taking the same path as Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. Paid demo, though its own separate game, which contains a story not in the full game & you get content that’ll transfer over.

Fine by me. I just hope that when it comes to the US, it’s as cheap as well (as in under $5).
